If he wants to go, that is.

According to Adam Caplan of FoxSports.com, Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew is expected to have surgery this week on the partially torn meniscus in his right knee.

A record-setting 34 fill-ins will take part in tonight’s Pro Bowl, in large part because players from the Super Bowl teams had to pull out.

Others are skipping it because of injuries or other reasons, however.

This is the first year the Pro Bowl’s ever been played before the Super Bowl. Titans quarterback Vince Young, defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch and center Kevin Mawae are among the alternates.

“I usually don’t miss this,’’ said Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis, who’s played in the Pro Bowl 10 of the 11 times he was elected. “These days will never be again. So if God blesses you to do it, why not do it? I hate to look back on my career and say I missed out on this.’’

Forget that the NFL calendar says it starts March 5. Right now, players are politicking. Consider Pro Bowl and Super Bowl weeks a players’ convention.

Running back Chris Johnson is trying to lure free agent defensive linemen to the Titans.

“I would love for (Chad) Ochocinco to be on my team,” Johnson said today from South Florida. “He’s a character and a good guy. Some guys like to give him a bad rap, but he’s a good guy who likes to have fun.”

And I’m sure middle linebacker Stephen Tulloch, a Miami native and restricted free agent, is being tempted to consider other teams come March.

In the end, money will be the big talking point. But before players sit at the table with NFL teams, they have to figure out which teams to visit. That’s where the NFL fraternity comes in.

Here’s a few Tweets from Darnell Dockett of the Arizona Cardinals:

“ChrisJohnson28 just ask me what will it take to get me in a titans uniform … what yall think what will it take?”

Later …

“Now vernon davis trying to get me to San Fran lol he told me he throw me a watch in of any kind Rolex etc… I might have to think… Frank Gore wants me to come. Join the 49ers lol. He’s a cool cat! Her said we would run the west and the whole NFC! What yall think?”

Later…

“Ok so yesterday I told yal who would love to have me on there team so today what yall think about Julius (P)eppers with us? What yall think?

Any suggestions for Johnson, Vince Young and the rest of the Titans contingent in South Florida? What free agent should they get to consider the Titans?
